Overview

John Mariotti's novel The Chinese Conspiracy poses a huge question: ""What Happens When Nothing Works?"" What if all forms of electronic communications and computer controls were ""shut down"" at once? This is exactly the frightening prospect posed by Mariotti's novel, The Chinese Conspiracy. The U. S. government is temporarily helpless, as panic spreads. Evil forces, Chinese dissidents at high levels are using global extortion to exact a frightening toll. The growth of hacking and cyber-attacks continues to create massive problems. It is not a war of bullets and bombs, but a silent war or words and will. The story starts with the human pain and suffering of a small-town plant closing, and spreads quickly around the world-involving primarily rebellious Chinese IT leadership and Pakistani programmers--where the plot unfolds. A hidden Chinese effort is invading hoping to control the US and much of the English-speaking western world. Real world situations and current technologies add chilling credibility to The Chinese Conspiracy. Mariotti takes readers from human interest to the global power struggle and back again. Far less deadly than the attacks of 9/11, yet infinitely more disruptive, The Chinese Conspiracy poses the question: ""WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NOTHING WORKS?"" Reviewers called it ""scarily realistic"" and ""happening now!"" In the tradition of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn and James Patterson thrillers, Mariotti weaves a contemporary story of cyber-terrorism, plant closings, the human suffering and personal redemption. This is a wakeup call for Americans and the much of the Western world as the cyber-world rapidly joins with AI to blur the boundaries of fact, truth, fiction, to gain control. The Chinese Conspiracy may keep you up all night--and it will certainly have you reaching for the phone or e-mail to contact loved ones--if anything still works! ""How can we fight a hidden enemy we cannot see?""
